What numbers model humanity's survival this century?

[Guest]

Hmm. If humanity can prevent 2°C temperature rise this century and the elimination of its +16,000 nuclear warheads asap, humanity will improve it's 5% chance of surviving 21th century...

Series Expansion of [tex](log X)^{2}[/tex]:

For |-1 + X| > 1, we have

[tex](log X)^{2} = (log (-1 + X))^{2} -2(log (-1 + X))^{2} \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{k}}{k(-1+X)^{k}}[/tex]
